NEW DELHI: India were eager to dismiss West Indies opener John Campbell on the fourth day of the second Test in Delhi, after he displayed grit and resilience to keep his team in the game. India came close to ending Campbell's determined innings when Jasprit Bumrah's LBW appeal was turned down by umpire Richard Illingworth.

The incident occurred on the fifth ball of the 55th over when Bumrah's sharp delivery struck Campbell’s pads as he moved across to play a drive. India made a huge appeal, but on-field umpire Richard Illingworth turned it down. Unsatisfied with the decision, India opted to take a review.

On review, the UltraEdge technology detected a faint spike as the ball passed close to both bat and pad. Third umpire Alex Wharf concluded there was an inside edge and asked the on-field umpire to uphold the original not-out decision.

Campbell continued his patient knock, carefully shuffling across the crease and seemingly managing to get the ball on the edge of his bat before it struck his pads.

However, the decision clearly frustrated Bumrah, who was seen smiling wryly and telling umpire Illingworth, "You know it's out, but the technology can't prove it."

Campbell went on to register his maiden Test century, becoming the first West Indies opener to score a hundred in India since Wavell Hinds' 100 at Eden Gardens in 2002.

He achieved the milestone in just 48 innings, surpassing Trevor Goddard, who had taken 58 innings to reach his first Test hundred.
